Domaine De Saint-Pierre Arbois Poulsard 2015

$28.99

If cherries were flowers, this would be a posey. They're not, so it has to settle for being poesy. This is one of those eye-opening times that reminds you that cellaring and decanting is not just for Big Reds. This was relatively closed and reductive when we last opened a bottle (in the afternoon), but the last glass from that same bottle late in the evening was radically different, with delicate cherry-citrus fruit afloat as vapor.

Ratings on Delectable

There’s acidity, and then there’s volatile acidity - this wine has BOTH of them in spades. Interesting aromatics, love the light strawberry and sweet tobacco. But the VA almost gives the perception of effervescence on the palate - it’s that high. Would like to try this wine without the VA.

Interesting, but not very enticing, incredibly overpriced in Australia, much better Jura going for less here, hard to recommend this...

I love this wine. The light watery color of Poulsard is deceiving. It packs some delicious cherry and strawberry taste and a ton of acidity. Some minerality, too.
